Next to the course of Dere Street are quarry pits where the Romans dug gravel to use in constructing the road.
Dere Street runs beside Soutra Aisle, the remnants of a 12th-century hospital founded by Malcolm IV that was later used as a burial aisle by the Pringle family. It is a matter of only a few minutes stroll between the two sites, and there is a common parking area for both.
